The outskirts of Kyoto.
In an abandoned house.
Three killers, each holding a portrait of a man.
The person in that portrait is 80% similar to Li Ping'an.
There is also a line of words written emphatically in the portrait. The word "peace" is tattooed on the sole of this child's left foot.
"First burn the house, and then kill people. This fucking employer is so inhumane! I can't stand being an emotionless killer anymore."
Leng Laosan kept the portrait in his hand on the ground without forgetting to step on it.
"Third brother, put away your pitiful sympathy! This is what we do. If the employer asks us to do it, we just do it. There is so much bullshit."
It was Leng Laoer who spoke.
"Second brother, I don't agree with what you say. As a killer, you must abide by the rules of a killer. We burned the house last night when no one was around, which already violated the rules of a killer. Now we are going to kill people again, and we still have a reputation. Nice doctor, the rules we set in the beginning are about to be broken."
The third child still felt that this matter was inappropriate.
At this time, the boss who had been silent spoke up: "You are right, third brother, but we also need to eat. This time the employer is so generous. We don't have to worry about food and clothing. We can also abide by the rules in the future."
"Brother, I won't do anything that goes against my original intention anyway. Don't forget, we were almost bitten by someone last night. That doctor was anything but simple."
Lao San reminded.
At this time, the eldest brother and the second child understood that the rules were just excuses made by the third child.
What he was really afraid of was provoking someone he shouldn't.
Leng Lao Er snorted coldly and said: "Lao San, you are getting less and less courageous. Don't you know the truth that people are valuable only when they are alive, and nothing is lost when they die. Do you think someone would do it for a dead person?" Are you causing trouble for us?"
"It depends on who is killed. In short, I don't agree with it, and then assassinate this person."
Leng Laosan always has an ominous premonition.
I always feel that if I take action this time, I will lose something.
"Okay, you two, stop yelling. Since the third child doesn't want to go, just stay here and wait for the employer. I'll go with you, the second child."
Boss Leng made the decision directly.
…
Li Ping'an finished greeting the neighbors.
Just walked into the courtyard.
He looked left and right, and finally came near the dry well in the courtyard.
Only Li Pingan knew that there was a cellar under this dry well.
In other words, the reborn Li Pingan knew.
One night, he suddenly had a whim. If the dry well was not filled up, he would dig a cellar. Wouldn't it be a good disguise?
Whatever valuable things you have in the future, hide them in it.
Even if you are in danger, you can hide inside.
But when he jumped down into the dry well and prepared to dig a cellar, he just dug out the stones of the well and found that there was already a cellar in the dry well.
After he entered, he also found several boxes of gold and silver jewelry.
That's why he can continue to open a medical clinic without any worries, and he can also provide free treatment to people who are in financial distress.
It was all because of these that gave him the confidence.
This time King Kang rewarded him with one hundred taels of gold. When he went out to practice, he also put it into the cellar of Dry Well.
No footprints were found near the cellar.
It shows that no one has entered the dry well and his gold has not been lost.
But Chai Jun said that his gold had also been stolen by thieves.
Something is wrong.
After leaving the area of Dry Well, while chatting with Chai Jun, Li Ping'an suddenly asked: "How do you know that King Kang rewarded me with a hundred taels of gold and the gold was stolen?"
"That's what the officer who was surveying the site said! What's wrong?"
Chai Jun replied subconsciously.
"The yamen servant knows quite a lot."
Li Ping'an looked at Chai Jun with a half-smile and suddenly said this again.
This made Chai Jun feel shocked.
I thought to myself, this guy must have seen something!
Just when he was anxiously thinking about how to deal with Li Ping'an's questions next.
Unexpectedly, Li Ping'an didn't ask again.
Instead, he said to Chai Jun: "Let's go to your house."
"Did you find any clues?"
Chai Jun asked doubtfully.
Li Pingan shook his head: "No, but I think someone should know some clues."
"who?"
Chai Jun asked curiously.
Li Ping'an did not answer immediately this time. Instead, he leaned into his ear and whispered: "His Royal Highness Prince Kang, the master behind you."
"you……"
Chai Jun's face was full of disbelief.
Li Ping'an continued in a low voice: "Don't show such an expression. This is an obvious thing. Only King Kang has such great energy to investigate clearly that I have been wronged, and I can cure King Kang's illness. Naturally, he will not let me An accident happens, and you are the one protecting me.”
"More importantly, if you want me to be absolutely safe, you have to find the person behind the scenes, so I guess the people who were ambushed by King Kang near my house should have seen what happened last night."
Li Ping'an's analysis was absolutely correct.
But Chai Jun didn't dare to admit it.
Instead, he denied: "You are overthinking. I went to protect you because you saved the life of a friend of mine. I went to repay the favor."
"You are quite strict."
Li Ping'an smiled and patted Chai Jun on the shoulder and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go to your house first to wash away all the bad luck on my body. Then I will visit His Highness tomorrow."
…
Prince Kang's Mansion.
King Kang looked at Dark Thirteen who was kneeling on the ground and recounting everything that happened in Jishi Hall last night.
The more he listened, the deeper his frown deepened.
"You mean, the three people who set the fire have better Qing Gong than you?"
"Slightly better. Even though my subordinates tried their best, they only managed to catch up to the outside of the city and completely lost track of them."
Dark Thirteen said truthfully.
King Kang continued to ask: "Do they look like the imperial guards?"
An Thirteen shook his head: "The methods are completely different. They are more like the ancestral movements of some wild disciples."
After hearing An Shisan's answer, King Kang breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it's not an Ouchi guard.
This shows that it is not His Majesty who wants to deal with Li Pingan.
There should be someone else who wants his life.
"This time you personally find a way to get close to Li Ping'an and protect him."
After King Kang gave the order, he asked An Thirteen to retreat.
An Thirteen left, and King Kang asked someone to notify An Wu through a secret method.
An Wu is the best at detecting among the secret guards, and also has the best Qinggong.
Half an hour later, An Wu, who was notified of the secret method, came to King Kang.
After the dark five-line salute, King Kang personally helped him up, and whispered a few words in his ear, and then said: "I recruited you back, and I should have let you have a good rest. It's just that this matter is very important. Only Don't worry if you become an orphan. Remember, this matter is related to my future in Daxia, so no one else except you must know about it."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will fulfill my mission."
An Ye gave a military salute to King Kang, then turned and left.
